  • What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
    Marketing leadership - no accountability, no transparency in ROI, no understanding of the key levers/channels that are driving the growth; marketing leadership has been too focused on creative vs performance Channel Sales is not strategic, nor focused. Too many channel sales reps chasing too much
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    No raises and meagre bonus. No 401k match. Good people are leaving.
